How Does A Geothermal System Work?

Conventional forced air and boiler systems burn fossil fuels including oil and gas to create heat. Geothermal systems deliver an astounding five units of energy for every one unit of electrical energy used. Many homeowners realize savings of up to 70% on heating, cooling and hot water.

Geothermal Heating

In our area, we have blazing hot summers and cold frigid winters. What many people don’t realize is that the temperature underground stays fairly consistent all year long. During the winter, a geothermal system uses a loop to extract heat that is stored underground. As the system pulls heat from the loop it distributes that heat through the duct system in your home as warm air. This same heat can be also be used for radiant floor and hot water heating.

Geothermal Cooling

In the cooling mode, the heating process is reversed to create cool, conditioned air throughout your home. Instead of extracting heat from the ground, heat is extracted from the air inside your home and moved back into the underground earth loops.
